“Enough is enough”

So declared Chief Justice John Roberts in yesterday’s decision in FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life. CCP Chairman Brad Smith has posted his thoughts on the case over at RedState. Says Smith:

Monday’s Supreme Court decision in Federal Election Commission v Wisconsin Right to Life is cause for a little celebration. It’s not a great day for Free Speech, but it’s a pretty darn good one.

This decision does not mean the death of "campaign finance reform." It does not mean the death of McCain-Feingold. It does not even mean the death of McCain-Feingold’s hated ban on most independent broadcast ads that merely mention a candidate by name with 30 days of a primary of 60 days of a general election. But it does open a significant exemption to that ban. The reformers are freaking out, frankly.
